Growing a business isn't just reaching the peaks. It's about your mindset when you're in the valleys. Since no company's growth has ever been a straight line, it's on the leaders to be prepared for every step, even when the next one looks tough.
Our Servant Leadership Training gives leaders — new and experienced — a safe space to deal with the complexities of managing their team. And that includes managing yourself, developing the grit and determination so you can be there for your team.
We work with you to break down common experiences into actionable steps, so you can be prepared for anything that comes your way. And keeping things trending up 🏔
Up here in Pine, Colorado, our favorite holiday dessert is a s'more 🔥
It's the most wonderful time of year to appreciate your team's efforts and set the stage for a positive start 🌟🥂
Use these last few days of 2023 to focus on relationships — before your team takes off for the holidays.
OOO and ahh.

We've got plenty of cozy spaces for your team to disconnect, reconnect — and relax.
With wifi, great coffee, and meeting spaces, it's everything you need for a team offsite.
As a leader, it can feel like you and your team have to be perfect. All. The. Time.
Social media makes it worse, making it feel like we need to do everything our competition is doing — and more.
But sometimes, perfectionism just means you haven't set priorities. If you and your team don't know what matters, of course it seems like you should be doing everything. So, you end up working harder, but not being any more productive.
At Camp Purpose, we provide tools and training to help leaders turn perfectionism into real productivity.

Could we be candid?
We'd all have a little more fun in meetings if we could cut loose. Crack a joke. Be vulnerable. Speak our truth. Skip the small talk and stick to the real talk. Be more candid, less posed.

With 34 acres of pristine mountainside, an event space, on-site lodging, two fully stocked kitchens and multi-level deck, we've got everything you need to get your team together and get focused on what matters.
Purpose-driven leaders think differently. While they might consider themselves servant leaders, they don't view their role as just serving others. They serve a higher purpose — a goal that isn't defined by a single action.
Servant leadership says, "You’re in your role to serve others." This sounds great! It's hard to say "No" to that. It's a noble pursuit, but it leads to sacrifice, losing focus, and eventually, burnout.
Purpose-driven leadership says, "You’re here to make a difference." This requires more 👉strategic👈 thinking in terms of where to place your efforts. It gets everyone thinking bigger than themselves. And it empowers you to say "No" to certain things, while saying "Yes" to what matters.
Research has shown that teams of 4–6 tend to be more effective. This helps combat groupthink, speeds up decision making, and keeps everyone engaged. On the other hand, there's value in giving everyone a seat at the table.
We asked our leadership team to break down how they look at purpose-driven leadership by the numbers.
Kat Kornegay, Chief Purpose Officer: "The beauty with smaller leadership teams is agility, flexibility and speed to arrive at decisions. 4–5 seems to be the sweet spot. If you're purpose driven and truly empower your leaders and teams, you have a filter to put all decisions through and can work more quickly as a team of any size."
Emily Florio, Chief Strategy Officer: "Obviously size is not the critical issue, as it depends on the business. The critical issue is quality and diversity. You have to be able hold the team to high expectations and high standards. Because it’s trite, but true: the team performs at the level of your lowest performer."
If you feel like your light is beginning to burn out, try reconnecting with your purpose. Having a clear purpose isn't just a cool thing to say—it helps protect against burnout.
When leaders and teams know WHY they're doing what they're doing, it keeps them motivated and resilient when things get tough.
At Camp Purpose, we teach teams and their leaders the tools to prevent burnout. By starting from a place of empathy, teams can learn to shoulder each others' burdens and work more effectively.
Okay... Stay with us here. Some companies are like trees that change colors (Aspens), always trying new things. Others are like evergreen trees (Pines), sticking to what they know.
If your company feels like one or the other, maybe it's time to embrace being a mix of both. There is value in being strong and steady but also open to new ideas and changes. We want our companies to be resilient, like a forest that stays healthy through different seasons.

(Said no one ever.)
When you want to have a great meeting, take your team to a great place. Board meetings, planning sessions, offsites — all are better in a location that opens minds🌲
When your neighbor crashes Thanksgiving dinner:
We are all a team here, but what does that really mean? It means that we know that our success starts with each other. Like an ecosystem, we flourish when we all depend on each other.
Come reconnect at Camp Purpose, where you’ll have plenty of room to focus on what matters as a team.
Purpose-driven companies start out just like any other company: on the ground floor.
The difference is, they don't just settle for where they are today. They're aiming higher. They're goal-oriented. They're not satisfied with the status quo. Your company's purpose is that fuel that's always pushing you towards where you want to be.
To quote a recent Forbes article: “All generations believe corporations have equal to or MORE responsibility to evolve the system than governments.”
It's the one question that seemingly everyone BUT brands are talking about: How we evolve all of this?
No matter who your audience is, they're wondering about the future. Your brand, business or non-profit can be a part of the change by focusing on a higher purpose. Your customers are counting on it.

“Keep close to nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” — John Muir
In our connected, fast-paced world, those words apply more today than ever before. Give your team a chance to disconnect together, and you'll discover a whole new meaning of 'team spirit.'
How can small businesses benefit from purpose?
No business is too small to be purpose-driven. In fact, small businesses are better able to get all their employees on board and working toward a shared goal.
Your company's purpose isn't what you put on a poster or a business card; it's what you live by.
Right now, your team might be working towards a shared purpose — but it's one that you haven't articulated yet. That's not a bad thing. In fact, it can be a huge source of potential.
A big part of our curriculum at Camp Purpose is helping companies at every step in their purpose journey articulate and activate a single purpose statement that feels tailor-made for their team and culture. That way, when you share it with your team, it feels natural and inspiring, allowing you to simplify conversations around your strategy and culture.

A cozy, 8-bedroom lodge & suites.
Camp Purpose has everything you need to escape the grind and get your team focused on what really matters: each other.
Is "purpose" a buzzword?
Once upon a time, some companies set themselves apart by staking out a claim as "purpose-driven." Fast forward a few decades, and a few too many companies have jumped on the bandwagon. Where does that leave the rest of us?
If you're running or building or dreaming about a purpose-driven company, you owe it to your team to walk the walk. Show them how what you're building is different than the default competitor down the street. Then, give them the chance to build it alongside you, and you have a teammate for life.
The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health X Camp Purpose 🏔 July 20-24, 2023
By now, everyone knows that your office environment matters. But being in an actual *office* matters less than you’d think. The discussions that really matter can take place anywhere that👉allows you to focus 100%👈
It’s not about the décor. It’s about distractions, which offices are full of. During an offsite, your team can focus on the big topics instead of their inbox. A new space gives them permission to step up, bring new ideas, and learn from each other.
Word-of-mouth happens within organizations, too. Give your people the time and space to talk, and you'd be amazed just how easy it is to get them aligned behind a shared purpose.
The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health used Camp Purpose as a moment to build lasting trust between the organization's Aorta Advocates: the people on the front lines who have made raising awareness their life's work.
The result was a moving, emotional week where the entire organization realized just how big an impact they were making — and how much they had in common.

When @johnritterfoundation for Aortic Health came to Camp Purpose, we knew the conversations would be serious. Not only were we training a new cohort of Aorta Advocates, we were sharing stories of grief, love, and loss. So, we made sure to cut loose in between those discussions. Not only does time outdoors help your brain “reset,” it also helps you learn and build connections. That way, the benefits of a team retreat can last long after it’s over.

Why get out of the office together? Because it works. When teams get a chance to disconnect and reconnect, it reinforces the sense of community. This can be a powerful source of motivation that many companies haven't taken the time to tap into.

It moves the needle, too. You ready?🏔
